1.1 About the Serial ATA interface

The Serial ATA interface provides several advantages over the traditional (parallel) ATA interface. The primary

advantages include:

• Easy installation and configuration with true plug-and-play connectivity. It is not normally necessary to set

any jumpers or other configuration options.

• Thinner and more flexible cabling for improved enclosure airflow and ease of installation.

• Scalability to higher performance levels.

In addition, Serial ATA makes the transition from parallel ATA easy by providing legacy software support. Serial

ATA was designed to allow you to install a Serial ATA host adapter and Serial ATA disc drive in your current

system and expect all of your existing applications to work as normal.

The Serial ATA interface connects each disc drive in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host

adapter. There is no master/slave relationship with Serial ATA devices like there is with parallel ATA. If two

drives are attached on one Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating system views the two devices as if they

were both “masters” on two separate ports. This essentially means both drives behave as if they are Device 0

(master) devices.

Note. The host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environment to host software where two

devices on separate Serial ATA ports are represented to host software as a Device 0 (master) and

Device 1 (slave) accessed at the same set of host bus addresses. A host adapter that emulates a

master/slave environment manages two sets of shadow registers. This is not a typical Serial ATA

environment.

The Serial ATA host adapter and drive share the function of emulating parallel ATA device behavior to provide

backward compatibility with existing host systems and software. The Command and Control Block registers,

PIO and DMA data transfers, resets, and interrupts are all emulated.

The Serial ATA host adapter contains a set of registers that shadow the contents of the traditional device regis-

ters, referred to as the Shadow Register Block. All Serial ATA devices behave like Device 0 devices. For addi-

tional information about how Serial ATA emulates parallel ATA, refer to the “Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized

AT Attachment” specification. The specification can be downloaded from http://www.serialata.org.

2.7 Seek time

Seek measurements are taken with nominal power at 25°C ambient temperature. All times are measured using

drive diagnostics. The specifications in the table below are defined as follows:

• Track-to-track seek time is an average of all possible single-track seeks in both directions.

• Average seek time is a true statistical random average of at least 5,000 measurements of seeks between

random tracks, less overhead.

Note. These drives are designed to consistently meet the seek times represented in this manual. Physical

seeks, regardless of mode (such as track-to-track and average), are expected to meet the noted

values. However, due to the manner in which these drives are formatted, benchmark tests that

include command overhead or measure logical seeks may produce results that vary from these

specifications.

2.9 Power specifications

The drive receives DC power (+5V) through a native SATA power connector.

2.9.1 Power consumption

Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 8. Typical power measurements are based on

an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, at 25°C ambient temperature.

• Spinup power

Spinup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that the drive spindle reaches operating speed.

• Seek mode

During seek mode, the read/write actuator arm moves toward a specific position on the disc surface and does

not execute a read or write operation. Servo electronics are active. Seek mode power is measured based on

three random seek operations every 100 msecs. This mode is not typical.

• Read/write power and current

Read/write power is measured with the heads on track, based on three 63 sector read or write operations

every 100 msecs.

• Idle mode power

Idle mode power is measured with the drive up to speed, with servo electronics active and with the heads in

a random track location.

• Standby mode

During Standby mode, the drive accepts commands, but the drive is not spinning, and the servo and read/

write electronics are in power-down model

*During periods of drive idle, some offline activity may occur according to the S.M.A.R.T. specification, which may increase acoustic and

power to operational levels.

**Standby power is measured at steady state (after 200ms from transition)

2.9.2 Conducted noise

Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on

the +5 volt line.

Using 5-volt power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 100 mV peak-to-peak square-wave

injected noise at up to 10 MHz.

Note. Equivalent resistance is calculated by dividing the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/write

current.

Voltage tolerance (including noise):

5V ± 5%

2.9.4 Power-management modes

The drive provides programmable power management to provide greater energy efficiency. In most systems,

you can control power management through the system setup program. The drive features the following

power-management modes:

• Active mode

The drive is in Active mode during the read/write and seek operations.

• Idle mode

The buffer remains enabled, and the drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode any time disc

access is necessary.

• Standby mode

The drive enters Standby mode when the host sends a Standby Immediate command. If the host has set the

standby timer, the drive can also enter Standby mode automatically after the drive has been inactive for a

specifiable length of time. The standby timer delay is established using a Standby or Idle command. In Standby

mode, the drive buffer is in Self Refresh Low Power mode, the heads are parked and the spindle is at rest.

The drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode any time disc access is necessary.

•Sleep mode

The drive enters Sleep mode after receiving a Sleep command from the host. In Sleep mode, the drive buffer

is in Self Refresh Low Power mode, the heads are parked and the spindle is at rest. The drive leaves Sleep

mode after it receives a Hard Reset or Soft Reset from the host. After receiving a reset, the drive exits Sleep

mode and enters Standby mode with all current translation parameters intact.

• Idle and Standby timers

Each time the drive performs an Active function (read, write or seek), the standby timer is reinitialized and

begins counting down from its specified delay times to zero. If the standby timer reaches zero before any

drive activity is required, the drive makes a transition to Standby mode. In both Idle and Standby mode, the

drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode when disc access is necessary.

2.10.5 Shock

All shock specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input shock applied at the drive

mounting screws. Shock may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis.

2.10.5.1 Operating shock

These drives comply with the performance levels specified in this document when subjected to a maximum

operating shock of 350 Gs based on half-sine shock pulses of 2 msec. Shocks should not be repeated more

than two times per second.

2.10.5.2 Nonoperating shock

The nonoperating shock level that the drive can experience without incurring physical damage or degradation

in performance when subsequently put into operation is 800 Gs based on a nonrepetitive half-sine shock pulse

of 2 msec duration.

The nonoperating shock level that the drive can experience without incurring physical damage or degradation

in performance when subsequently put into operation is 800 Gs based on a nonrepetitive half-sine shock pulse

of 1 msec duration.

The nonoperating shock level that the drive can experience without incurring physical damage or degradation

in performance when subsequently put into operation is 600 Gs based on a nonrepetitive half-sine shock pulse

of 0.5 msec duration.

2.10.6 Vibration

All vibration specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input vibration applied at the

drive mounting screws. Vibration may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis.

2.10.6.1 Operating vibration

The maximum vibration levels that the drive may experience while meeting the performance standards speci-

fied in this document are specified below.

2.10.6.2 Nonoperating vibration

The maximum nonoperating vibration levels that the drive may experience without incurring physical damage or degrada-

tion in performance when subsequently put into operation are specified below

5–500 Hz 1.0 Gs (0 to peak). Max displacement may apply below 10 Hz.

5–500 Hz: 5.0 Gs (0 to peak). Max displacement may apply below 22 Hz.

2.11 Acoustics

Drive emission of sound is measured consistent with the ECMA-74 and its’ referenced standards. Testing is

conducted at room temperature (approximately 25

°C). Emission levels are reported as the total A-weighted

sound power levels for steady state, idle, and active seek modes of operation.

*During periods of drive idle, some offline activity may occur according to the S.M.A.R.T. specification, which may increase acoustic and

power to operational levels.

Test for Prominent Discrete Tones (PDTs)

Seagate follows the ECMA-74 standards for measurement and identification of PDTs. An exception to this pro-

cess is the use of the absolute threshold of hearing. Seagate uses the lower limit for the threshold curve* to

discern tone audibility and to compensate for the inaudible components of sound prior to computation of tone

ratios according to Annex D of the ECMA-74 standards.

*Defined as the median curve given by ISO 389-7 (Tf curve) minus 10dB at all frequencies.

2.12 Electromagnetic immunity

When properly installed in a representative host system, the drive operates without errors or degradation in

performance when subjected to the radio frequency (RF) environments defined in the following table:
